What’s new
You can now recover expired domains directly inside Leadli during the 41–70 day redemption window without contacting support.
The renewal prompt remains available through day 40. During days 41–70, a dedicated recovery flow calculates fees, takes payment, and completes recovery in one place.
How it works
- In Domain Settings, select Recover for an expired domain. The system checks status in real time and routes you to the correct flow.
- Days 1–40 (grace period): You’ll see the standard renewal prompt and pay the normal renewal fee. The renewal window has been extended from 28 days to 40 days.
- Days 41–70 (redemption period): You’ll see a recovery prompt that includes both the renewal fee and the registry redemption fee. Payment and recovery happen in-product.
- If the zone is inactive: You’ll be shown a prompt to contact support.
- After day 70: If the domain has passed day 70 or the zone has been deleted, recovery is no longer available in-product and the domain is moved to External.
Why it matters
- Reduces support tickets for domain recovery
- Provides a clear self-serve recovery path during the redemption window
- Helps prevent churn by making recovery easier at a critical point
- Keeps domain lifecycle management inside the product
Important notes
- The renewal grace period has been extended from 28 days to 40 days
- All expiry logic runs on UTC
- Redemption fees are charged at the fixed registry rate with no Leadli or agency markup
- Auto-recharge is disabled during recovery to prevent partial payment issues
- Some TLDs (including .co and .uk) may still require support help if the zone has already been deleted
- No setup is required; the correct recovery flow appears automatically based on the domain’s current status
